[<admin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is great news, Mike.  Will project Swizzle also mean the DDK will be
available for XCP again?

The next release of XenCenter has been made to understand XCP version
numbers. XenServer has both a product_version and platform_version
number, whereas XCP just has a platform_version number. All new releases
of XenServer and XCP will have a common platform_version between them.

There is no public link because this was an internal project to rework
our internal build system. The basic idea is that our build system
creates both a XenServer and XCP build from the same set of sources,
which means that we no longer have to delay an XCP release after
XenServer releases (no more 6 month beta periods, etc.).
